EVERNA Ring of Fire

DANTONU Part 1

After walking down the tunnel cave that was the entrance gate to Watas Country, Dhaka and his group stared at the sky again as it arrived in the open air. There were no visible stars in the sky, only a full moon peering out from behind a thick cloud.

"Maybe we should just go back and stay in the shady cave to rest. We continue our journey in the light of day." That's the leader of the group, Sthira.

But the guide, Dapu Dapu shook his head loudly. "Don't! We have to move as fast as possible before Vrithra finds us. You guys took a break after walking down the tunnel cave, didn't you?"

Nirya and Sthira exchanged glances, while Arumi frowned.

Dhaka shrugged his shoulders. "Well, what else to say. It's hard to forecast the weather from inside the cave."

Nirya asked, "So how should we be now?"

Dapu Dapu replied quickly, "Come, join Dapu Dapu run! Hopefully we can get out of the forest and arrive at the village before the heavy rain falls!"

"Then, come on!" Sthira like giving a signal, the five people began to run down the grove of trees.

Even Dhaka himself just realized the cause of Dapu Dapu suggested that run in the dark. Apparently, this Forest of Boga is not at all dark at night. On each branch of the tree, various kinds and forms of "fruits" hang, glowing brightly like a network of lanterns scattered as far as the eye can see.

Even more miraculous, the form of "fruits" is none other than a variety of delicious foods from Antapada and all corners of the world.

"Oh my God, there's a tree bearing rendang, typical Swarnara cuisine!" exclaiming Nirya while continuing to run.

"Fried chicken Jayandra's peanut seasoning!" Arumi gasps.

"Rainusa-style grilled ducks!" exclamation Dhaka pula.

"Start the goat of Kalingga's signature forest spice!" Sthira gaped, her saliva rising instantly. "I want to taste it, just for one!"

Sthira immediately stopped his run and turned towards one of the trees, which the young man said bore the fruit of his dream.

But Dhaka quickly put his body in front of Sthira, his hands stretched out straight. "Don't, Sthira! Remember the word Dapu Dapu, all the food that grows from the trees there is evil magic! If Sthira eats, Sthira's common sense will disappear!"

Dhaka's good intentions were instead reciprocated by Sthira with a rude impulse. "Segigit alone will have no effect! Move you!"

But Dhaka insisted, continuing to move in his way. "We don't know how much of an influence that food magic power is! Later, after our mission is over we eat the whole goat gulai!"

"I'm so hungry and I have to eat now! Step aside, or I'll make you regret your actions!" Sthira gripped and tried to push Dhaka's shoulder again.

But this time Dhaka fluttered in a place like a statue or a giant stone statue. Sthira pushed even stronger and never moved the mighty Komodo dragon.

"Balking!" Sthira then slammed the back of his lightning-laden fist towards the head of Dhaka, his own partner. From this legend alone it is very clear, even the form of the "magic fruit" is able to conjure, affecting the minds of those who see it.

Nirya and Arumi may have gotten used to eating a little or still being full enough, so as not to be affected by magic. Dhaka who is a demon seems to be immune to magic in this Watas. But Sthira, whose nature is a man who needs more energy from food than women for all his movements. So naturally he was the first to be affected by the illusion of his dream cuisine.

So the only thing Dhaka can do is say, "Sorry Dhaka is rude," while catching Sthira's fist with his own palm. Then Dhaka exerted his ground-based inner power, dampening the power of Sthira's lightning.

Roaring like a savage beast, Sthira punched out with her free hand. Reacting quickly, Dhaka twists Sthira's blocked hand, then turns the body back to his opponent. As fast as lightning, Dhaka smashed the side of his palm like a hammer right at the nape of the opponent. As a result, Sthira fell. Before the young-looking face kissed the ground, Dhaka quickly caught and smashed the body of the leader of his group.

"Is there anything else that's been magical?" dhaka asked while looking around. "If there is, he should be Dhaka 'to sleep' like this one."

"none? Then one problem has been solved." Dhaka gives another meaning to the word "top" by lifting Sthira's body up on her back. He then carried the unconscious warrior and walked back.

"Dapu Dapu likes the way Dhaka copes with problems, direct and straightforward" chirped the guide.

"But, because of this problem, we are now in a new problem." Nirya showed that point by extending her palm. The rain drops are falling more and more.

"Forced we can not hurry," said Dapu Dapu while shrugging his shoulders. "We must shelter under this tall, shady tree. Hope there's no lightning coming towards us."

As if he was touching, at that moment a flash of lightning seemed to strike in the distance. The power of the lightning was instantaneously measured by the sound of thunder that followed later. Thunder is very noisy, deafening even the ears of Dhaka too, the lightning sign was certainly very powerful. Not only that, lightning and thunder followed.

"Crazy, on Mount Barkajangpun the sound of thunder is not so loud, even in heavy rain!" exclaimed Nirya, her tone began to seem panicked. "Maybe Dragon Vrithra is angry!"

Dapu Dapu shook his head. "It is precisely the more dense the rain, the more pleased Vrithra will be.  That means he had the opportunity to provoke lightning to arise, then absorb his energy like partying, eating as much."

"Ware...!" Paras Nirya paled instantly.

But Dhaka knew instantly, the cause of the pale Nirya is not heavy rain or Vrithra. Dhaka then saw a lot of vague figures facing right in front of them. He glanced around and found other figures as if making a posse, besieging the entire Dhaka troupe.

One of the figures exclaimed loudly, "Who are you?! How dare you infiltrate secretly in this hidden Watas Country!"

Since Sthira is still unconscious, Arumilah is the one who diplomacy. "We warriors have come in peace, at the invitation of your people, Dapu Dapu. We need to face Rai Taksaka in secret, which is why we move at night."

"Huh, excuse!" snarled the besieging leader. "Brothers, make sure they're all fertilizers for the trees here!"

"Wait a minute!" yell Dapu Dapu. "Dapu Dapu deliberately brought them here for good purposes! Let us face Rai Taksaka first, let him decide everything!"

"Ha! Precisely Rai Taksaka has said, all foreigners who come, let alone infiltrate Watas must be killed on the spot! Including you, the traitorous demon!" The leader who turned out to be a wolf-human demon pointed towards Dapu Dapu.

Dapu Dapu. Just now the boy showed that his age might be much older than his true form. But when he knew the ruler of a country he admired turned into a tyrant like Vrithra, Dapu Dapu seemed to run out of words.

Dhaka who saw the Dapu Dapu gelagat pulled out his spear. It seems that he and his group have to fight desperately here, against the people they should help and liberate. Nirya and Arumi are also ready with their weapons, while Sthira this time becomes the person they must protect because they are still unconscious.

Heavy rain then flushed this battlefield, giving the advantage to warriors who were better trained to fight in the dark than the besieging demons. But still the warriors are outnumbered. The outcome of this fight is very likely to be very detrimental for both sides.

"Oh, so you want to fight?" snapped at the wolf demon. "Alright, so there's no need for Rai to impose the death penalty on you! Ser...!"

Suddenly there was a very deafening shrill voice. All humans, both humans and demons without exception close their ears.

In the dark and heavy rain, the eyes of the Komodo dragon Dhaka are able to see clearly the figure of the screamer. It turned out that she was a full-fledged female human demon with a pair of wings and the tail of a bird of paradise, definitely not a full-fledged avian. The feathers on the wings and tail of the stealth are rainbow-colored and brightly glowing, like independent light sources.

Surprisingly, the woman's long hair and colorful rainbow even still fluttering like a flag, completely unaffected even exposed to rain.

Spiky teeth Dhaka rubbed. That one demon power might be equivalent to or slightly below Cayari Aronawa or Cayari Yamano. Should he and his friends fight this magic figure anyway? If so, it is likely to escape this place alive as Swarnara elephants attempt to enter the pit of ants in the cave.

When the shrill voice stopped, Dapu Dapu was the first to speak, "God.... mother?"
